Omniboard is useful when many independently owned projects need to
move in the same direction, and guessing the current state is too
slow, risky, or expensive.

Every enterprise organization is different with its own unique
environment and needs...
The following examples represent a
non-exhaustive list of real world use cases solved
with the help of Omniboard to serve as examples of what can be
achieved!
Enterprise use-case library
Find the pattern that matches your current engineering initiative
Each pattern combines checks, project metadata, scoped dashboards,
and remediation context so leads can move from "where are we?" to
"what still needs work?" Open the cards that match your current
migration, platform, library, security, or ownership problem.

warning
A shared library, SDK, UI component, backend module, or
internal API needs to change, split, or be deprecated.
Check dependency presence, version, imports, selectors,
functions, modules, config paths, deprecated usage, and
private/internal API usage.

Decision enabled
Estimate migration cost, choose compatibility windows,
prioritize docs or codemods, and contact the
highest-impact consumers first.
Examples
Same Omniboard pattern, different owner and stack context.
Deprecating a design-system component
A UI library team wants to remove an old date picker after
introducing a Material-based replacement.
Check package version and imports from the old component
path.
Check templates for old selectors and unsupported input
combinations.
Group consumers by team and usage pattern to separate
easy replacements from complex custom integrations.
If only three projects use it, remove it quickly. If 180
projects use custom inputs, plan docs, codemods, and a
longer compatibility window.
Splitting a backend module
A backend platform team wants to split a shared Maven
module into smaller modules without surprising service
owners.
Check Maven dependency presence and current module
version.
Check imports, annotations, generated clients, and
configuration keys that reveal which part of the module
is used.
Show consumers by service, owning team, and API surface.
The owner can decide whether to split immediately, publish
a migration guide, or keep a facade module while heavy
consumers move.
Removing an old platform API
A platform owner wants to delete a deprecated
configuration API after introducing a safer synchronous
replacement.
Check old API calls, new API calls, and projects that
use both.
Check config files and package versions to find
incomplete migrations.
Track adoption until no relevant consumers depend on the
old path.
The platform team knows when the old API can be removed
and which exact teams still need support.
sync_altMigration control
Track every affected project until the old path can be
removed.
ArchitectsPlatform teamsTech leadsLearn morekeyboard_arrow_down
warning
A framework, platform API, deployment region, or shared
standard needs coordinated adoption across many
independently owned projects.
Check old usage, new usage, required version, required
config, and missing ownership metadata.
dashboardDashboard view: Done, not done,
unchecked, and exception views by team, group, platform
segment, or migration wave.
task_alt
Decision enabled
Choose rollout waves, focus enablement on blocked teams,
and know when the old path is safe to remove.
Examples
Track the migration from intent to verified adoption.
Upgrading a frontend framework baseline
Architecture wants every frontend application on a
supported framework major before the old version leaves
support.
Check framework package versions and lockfiles.
Check old bootstrap patterns and missing required
migration flags.
Group applications by team, version distance, and known
blockers.
Leads can see which projects need a simple upgrade and
which need migration help before the deadline.
Replacing an async configuration API
A platform library introduces a synchronous configuration
path and needs consumers to stop using the old async API.
Check imports, function calls, and projects using both
old and new paths.
Track which teams still need code changes versus only a
dependency bump.
Keep the dashboard open until no relevant project
depends on the old API.
The library team can remove the old API with confidence
instead of waiting for status updates.
Moving services to a new deployment region
Platform asks teams to add region-ready deployment config
before traffic can move.
Check deployment descriptors, region variables, and
missing runtime settings.
Separate services that are ready, partially configured,
or blocked by ownership gaps.
Report migration waves directly from repository state.
Program owners can plan the move by real readiness instead
of spreadsheet promises.
query_statsDependency and version spread
See which projects are current, outdated, pinned, blocked, or
running exceptions.
Tech leadsDX teamsPlatform teamsLearn morekeyboard_arrow_down
warning
A dependency, runtime, stack, test tool, or internal
library version needs to be understood across the estate.
Check package versions, Maven dependencies, lockfile
versions, runtime stack versions, and pinned or excluded
dependencies.
Find version spread that is expensive to discover by hand.
Finding old Node or Java runtimes
Platform wants to retire unsupported runtime versions
without breaking teams unexpectedly.
Check Dockerfiles, CI config, package engines, Maven
properties, and deployment manifests.
Group projects by runtime family, version, owner, and
upgrade distance.
Highlight services pinned to old images or custom
runtime exceptions.
Platform can choose a realistic support window and contact
the riskiest teams first.
Measuring internal library version spread
A shared library team wants to know how many consumers are
on old, current, or incompatible versions.
Check npm, Maven, or Gradle dependency declarations and
lockfiles.
Detect consumers using exclusions, aliases, or patched
forks.
Show adoption by team and major version before planning
a breaking change.
Library owners can see whether a breaking change is small,
broad, or blocked by a few high-impact consumers.
Standardizing test tooling versions
Engineering productivity wants projects on a supported
test runner and shared preset.
Check package versions, config files, and old preset
imports.
Identify projects that upgraded dependencies but kept
legacy configuration.
Group exceptions by team so enablement can offer
targeted support.
DX teams can focus on the projects where automation is not
enough.
policyArchitecture standards adoption
Make standards observable after the kickoff, not only
documented in a wiki.
ArchitectsGovernance leadsTech leadsLearn morekeyboard_arrow_down
warning
Architecture decides a standard such as strict mode,
standalone components, CODEOWNERS, sync config, default
interceptors, or lint rules.
Check standard presence, old workaround usage, recommended
configuration, metadata completeness, and actionable
remediation prompts.
task_alt
Decision enabled
See adoption, support teams, escalate persistent drift,
and retire old guidance.
Examples
Turn architecture decisions into observable engineering
state.
Making CODEOWNERS mandatory
Architecture wants every repository to declare maintainers
before ownership-sensitive work can be routed reliably.
Check for CODEOWNERS presence, valid team references,
and required fallback ownership.
Group missing or invalid ownership by department and
repository type.
Track adoption until stale inventory data can be
retired.
Teams get a clear ownership backlog and architecture gets
proof that routing data is trustworthy.
Adopting a frontend architecture standard
Lead architects define a preferred Angular setup and want
to know where projects still use old patterns.
Show which apps are compliant, mixed, or still on the
old architecture.
Attach remediation context so teams know the next
practical change.
Standards stop being a slide deck and become a visible
migration surface.
Enforcing default platform hooks
A backend or frontend platform wants every application to
use standard logging, telemetry, auth, or HTTP hooks.
Check required registration code, config keys, and old
manual hook setup.
Detect applications that import the package but do not
register the hook.
Group teams by missing capability so enablement can
provide specific fixes.
Platform can prove coverage before depending on the hook
for production operations.
securitySecurity exception burn-down
Find risky patterns before they become audit archaeology.
Security leadsCompliance leadsLead engineersLearn morekeyboard_arrow_down
warning
A vulnerability, unsafe API, missing control, or
compliance rule must be remediated across many
repositories.
Check risky API usage, mitigation presence, ignored
vulnerabilities, missing control files, and owner
metadata.
task_alt
Decision enabled
Focus remediation, prove control adoption, and replace
duplicate manual reports.
Examples
Connect security findings to exact repositories and
owners.
Removing unsafe cryptography usage
Security identifies a forbidden function or library that
must disappear from application code.
Check imports, function calls, wrappers, and copied
helper code.
Group findings by owning team, severity, and replacement
path.
Track exceptions separately from teams that have not
started remediation.
Security can focus conversations on real risky usage
rather than broad repository lists.
Burning down vulnerable dependency exceptions
A dependency vulnerability affects many projects, but some
services are pinned or suppressing updates.
Check vulnerable package versions, lockfiles, and ignore
rules.
Show which teams have upgraded, which are blocked, and
which need a waiver.
Keep historical visibility as exceptions expire.
Compliance reporting becomes a live burn-down instead of a
manual collection exercise.
Checking required control files
Security requires projects to declare threat model,
classification, or deployment control metadata.
Check for required files, required fields, and stale
placeholder values.
Identify repositories where ownership metadata is
missing, so remediation can be routed.
Segment dashboards by system criticality or regulatory
scope.
Security teams can prove which systems have declared
controls and where follow-up is still needed.
cloud_uploadCloud and platform readiness
Turn cloud, region, runtime, and delivery changes into a live
migration view.
Platform teamsCloud architectsArchitectsLearn morekeyboard_arrow_down
warning
Applications must move to cloud, a new region, AKS, new
runtime images, or new deployment conventions.
Plan migration waves, fund enablement, identify blocked
teams, and report from repository facts.
Examples
Make platform readiness visible before migration day.
Moving to approved container base images
Platform needs all services on supported runtime images
before a security or operations deadline.
Check Dockerfiles, CI templates, deployment manifests,
and image tags.
Detect services using custom images or pinned legacy
base layers.
Group adoption by service owner and runtime family.
Platform can see exactly which teams need help before old
images are blocked.
Checking AKS deployment readiness
Applications need Kubernetes-ready config before they can
move from legacy hosting.
Check Helm charts, resource limits, health probes,
ingress config, and secret handling.
Separate fully ready services from those missing one
required platform convention.
Show migration readiness by team and application
criticality.
Architects can plan rollout waves around actual deployment
readiness.
Finding on-prem dependencies blocking cloud exit
Cloud migration stalls when services still depend on
legacy endpoints, file shares, or network-only resources.
Check config paths, environment variables, endpoint
patterns, and deployment descriptors.
Group blockers by system dependency and owning team.
Track remediation until services no longer reference
forbidden infrastructure.
Migration planning can distinguish code changes from
infrastructure dependencies.

Engineering managersArchitectsTech leadsLearn morekeyboard_arrow_down
warning
The organization cannot reliably answer who owns each
project, which team maintains which component, or what
state each application is in.
Check team metadata, application metadata, CODEOWNERS,
project type, and stack family.
task_alt
Decision enabled
Route work to the right team, close ownership gaps, and
make estate reporting trustworthy.
Examples
Replace stale inventory pages with real codebase data.
Finding projects without a real owner
Engineering leadership needs to know which repositories
cannot receive migration, security, or lifecycle work.
Check CODEOWNERS, team metadata, service catalog files,
and placeholder owners.
Separate missing ownership from invalid or retired team
references.
Track closure as teams claim or retire repositories.
Leadership can resolve ownership gaps before they block
urgent engineering work.
Classifying application portfolio reality
Managers need a reliable view of apps, libraries,
templates, prototypes, and retired projects.
Check project type metadata, deployment signals,
dependency profiles, and repository activity.
Detect projects that are misclassified or missing
required catalog fields.
Group reporting by business area, stack, and lifecycle
state.
Portfolio conversations start from observable facts, not
stale naming conventions.
Mapping stacks across owned projects
Architects want to know which teams own backend services,
frontend apps, mobile clients, libraries, and platform
components.
Highlight unsupported or unusual stacks that need a
lifecycle decision.
Architecture can plan standards by actual stack footprint
instead of assumptions.
groupsTeam adoption dashboards

warning
A global initiative needs local execution, but every team
needs to know only what applies to their projects.
Combine initiative checks, project ownership, team
filters, migration status, and remaining exceptions.
task_alt
Decision enabled
Make meetings about blockers instead of status
collection, and help teams focus on their own backlog.
Examples
Give each lead a scoped operational view of broad
initiatives.
Creating a tech lead migration backlog
A tech lead needs to know which global initiatives apply
to their projects this quarter.
Combine ownership metadata with migration checks and
exception status.
Show only the team-owned projects that still need
action.
Group work by initiative, project, and remediation
complexity.
Leads can turn enterprise initiatives into a concrete team
backlog.
Running initiative review meetings
Engineering leadership wants recurring reviews to focus on
blockers and decisions, not manual status collection.
Show completed, remaining, and unchecked work by team
and initiative.
Highlight persistent blockers or teams with stale
exceptions.
Keep the same dashboard updated as checks re-run.
Meetings become about unblock decisions because status is
already visible.
Targeting enablement where it matters
Platform or architecture teams need to know whether teams
need docs, codemods, training, or direct pairing.
Group failures by missing pattern, old API surface, or
project complexity.
Identify teams with many similar blockers across
projects.
Track adoption after enablement to see whether the
support worked.
Enablement effort goes to the highest-leverage teams and
patterns.
